Ingredients

3 lbs. bone-in chicken thighs

11 oz. apricot preserves

1 tablespoon diced chiptole peppers in adobo sauce

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

⅛ teaspoon salt

¼ cup water

Instructions

To a large bowl, add apricot preserves, chipotle peppers, smoked paprika, salt and water. Whisk together until combined and smooth. Remove ¼ cup of the mixture and set aside for later.

Add bone-in chicken thighs to the bowl with the sauce. Toss chicken to coat with the chipotle apricot marinade. Cover.

Marinade for 20-30 minutes.

Preheat grill to medium high heat, about 375-400 degrees F.

Place chicken on grill, skin side down first. Grill for 4 minutes, and then turn the chicken (still skin side down) 45 degrees and cook an additional 4 minutes. This will give you the next grill marks.
